Posted by Jerell | January 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Awesome Attorney

Adam helped me through the most difficult time of my life: a custody battle for my daughter. Adam was incredibly well prepared & did everything in his power to ensure I didn't lose time with my daughter.

Posted by anonymous | January 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Very dedicated, easy to work with and genuine lawyer

Adam was my lawyer for a modification for child support. This turned out to be a long trial because of the adversarial, spiteful and uncooperative nature of the petitioner and her lawyer. Adam was professional, responsive, helpful and supportive through this very difficult matter, even though the ot...her side was unprofessional and sometimes even rude. This was also confirmed by comments the judge made in her ruling. I found Adam to be knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Nobody wins in this sort of case, but I feel the judgement was fair and Adam fought hard to keep us above the constant slander from the other side.
